How do I stop bouncing off a wall?

I have created a simple grappling hook and I also have wall running in and FPS project but When ever I grapple to a wall my character just bounces off it how do I stop this

Can you explain how you move the player with the grapple?

I set the velocity of the player such that it would move towards the grapple point until It is within a certain range of the target (in this case 200 UE4 units) and then I add a little velocity to to the Z axis plus the earlier velocity

This should be the velocity of the Character Movement Component - is this what you mean? Can you show the script? Is anything simulating physics?

Yes the character movement velocity.

Here’s the script, Im taking the the initial direction for the grapple( its normalized) and then multiplying it for speed

Hm, doing just this:

Produces expected, consistent results and no bouncing.

I also have wall running

I’d inspect the way this is implemented / integrated. Can you test it without this mechanics - perhaps that would help narrow it down.

I actively had to ADD character wall bouncing to projects upon request.

After a bit more test I figured out that this only happens if I hit the hook which is round, but I have turned all collision of on it and the issues persists. But adding an additional push towards the wall has completely stopped it. I think it might have been my velocity was too high. 5K

I turned off wallrunning and that fixed the issue so there is probably something in there that needs fixin

Found the cause, thanks for the help mate. I was changing plane constraints during wallrunning and for some reasons that made the velocities weird. Thanks for the help fren appreciate it.
